[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know as my oldest is 13 so clearly I’m not of the woods yet. But I’m bracing myself because this last year, particularly (7th grade) was AWFUL.

I’m bracing myself because I cannot help but worry that if we had/have to deal with what we are goin through now when our child is so young, I shudder to think what is in the cards for the next years.

It is so bad that it made me regret having children because I realize things can get worse and it is really a life ling commitment/responsibility.

It is like being emotionally hostage to someone else for the rest of my life.

If things turn out well and this was just a phase that will be wonderful because I truly love my child and they have the potential to become great people. They WERE great people who brought me TONS of joy before.

Things stated derailing during the second semester of 2020, age 10/5th grade.

I will always wonder if we would be in a different place now if it was not for the pandemic, or if I at least had do e things differently during the pandemic.

Hindsight is 20-20 though… [/quote]

My daughter got sporadically moody for about a year when she was 12 or 13 -- puberty hormones, I presume. It passed pretty quickly. I don't know what exactly you're dealing with, but I wouldn't take it for granted that things will continue to get worse or will stay bad for too long. [/quote]
